Details:

help lookup:

...
     If OPTS is specified, it must be a string with letters indicating
     additional options.

     'm'
          'table(idx(i)) == val(i)' if 'val(i)' occurs in table;
          otherwise, 'idx(i)' is zero.

     'b'
          'idx(i)' is a logical 1 or 0, indicating whether 'val(i)' is
          contained in table or not.
...


There is no definition of variable 'val'.
'val' might be 'y' according to the context.


help logspace:

...
     Also for compatibility with MATLAB, return the second argument B if
     fewer than two values are requested.
...


The behavior of logspace is that
if N==1, it returns 10^B or pi, but not 'B'.
